 The `maybe_create_table()` function has two definitions:

 1. https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/blob/c71a898f784d8435c07bcf9ec9e30560dd3abe19/src/wp-
 admin/includes/upgrade.php#L2187-L2219
 2. https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/blob/c71a898f784d8435c07bcf9ec9e30560dd3abe19/src/wp-admin
 /install-helper.php#L40-L70

 The latter is contained within a `function_exists()` check, but this still
 means the function's behaviour can differ depending on which definition
 happens to load.

 The function is not used at all in WordPress core. It (they?) should
 probably be deprecated.
